1 is hilly and looks steeper and higher than most mountains. What's the difference?

After skimming the article, it appears that the heights are relative to the start. So starting on flat ground then going up hills will look worse than starting halfway up a mountain and climbing the rest of it
Yeah, bad visualization for general purpose I'd say. But then again, it depends on what you look for 🤷♂️
